Fatally Unique, the 14-member hip-hop youth dance team from Rockford, wore Anthony Hopkin’s “Silence of the Lambs”-like masks and then turned into zombies wearing straitjackets for its hip-hop semifinals dance performance tonight on “America’s Got Talent.”

Judge Howie Mandel said he wondered if the edgy performance was enough, given that many dance teams are in the semifinals. But judge Piers Morgan said that “after that performance, I think you are one step nearer” to the Top 10.

Voters tonight helped determine who advances. Winners will be announced on the show Wednesday. The program starts at 8 p.m. on WREX-TV.
